Tips on duplexing printed sheets?

Hi All -

I’m getting ready to try my hand at duplexing for the first time. Based on recommendations in other threads, I’m planning to print both sides on one sheet with a gutter and then score, fold and glue before final trimming. I’m thinking of using spray adhesive or binder’s glue to affix the two sheets together.

Any other suggestions or tips I should keep in mind that might help this be a successful experiment for me?

Thanks!

I would suggest doing some research on pva glue; book binding glues. Also a glue hand roller. I believe they have ones you put glue in and can roll over the card then duplex.
